I am a fairly active user of devices on android base, and the news about the release of the navigator based on this operating system, Prestigio GeoVision GV5500AND, which, by the way, became the millionth sold navigator of the brand. This navigator works with the Progorod navigation program, which served as a starting point for me in this review. I decided to look for a navigation program that is more functional than the pre-installed service from Google, which would be convenient to use both on the tablet and on the phone.
Actually, today we will not talk about it (not about Prestigio GeoVision GV5500AND), but about the Progorod navigation program, which has versions for most popular mobile OS - it is installed on satellite navigators under windows management CE, has versions for iOS and Bada, and for Android, of course. (There is also a version for Windows Mobile, however, new devices on this OS have not been released for a long time.)
I tested the program on ZTE V9 + tablet and LG P350 phone.
The screenshots for the article were made with the help of the latter, since it was quite easy to ruin it, in contrast to the tablet.
So the installation:
Installation is possible via Google Play Marketand from installation file, which can be downloaded from the program's website.
Full installation instructions are on the same page, and it is detailed in the User's Guide. After installing the program, it's better to connect to wi-Fi networks, since after launching it will offer to download maps of the desired region, I immediately downloaded a package of maps for the whole of Russia about 512 MB in size - the other day my wife and I are going to go on vacation to St. Petersburg. And then - a lot is not a little, maybe it will come in handy. You can also download maps in archive from the site before starting the program and put them on a memory card. On iOS, you will have to download maps, apparently only through the program.
The purchase of a license on iOS devices is made only through the AppStore, on Android we download the program for free, then we buy a license on the website, and we are given an activation key and a file that must be put on the memory card in the program folder.
Form for obtaining a license.
Here I acted as a beta tester for one more not obvious moment: I initially installed the program on a tablet and registered it on this device. It seemed logical to me, tk. and it works better with GPS than my LG P350, and its screen is larger, but then it suddenly turned out that I had unnecessarily updated to the latest firmware, therefore, I cannot get root rights on it and make screenshots for the article. However, this moment, it turns out, is provided for in the "Progorod". Across personal Area in a special form, it is enough to write a request to the support service with the name of the device on which the program is installed and indicate the reason for the license transfer. I indicated that the current device is faulty (the absence of root is a fault in our case, right ?! ;-)), and prepared to wait, a day or two, knowing from experience how such services are usually loaded. My surprise knew no bounds when, after a maximum of 30 minutes, I received an email notification that the license was transferred and I can register it on a new device. Five points to the support team, you are great!
This is how a letter about re-registering a license for another device looks like.
We installed the program, maps, now we can run the program. At the first launch, we agree with the use of the "plug" service in beta mode (for Russia), otherwise it will not work, which is logical. In Ukraine, this service has not yet been implemented, but there is information that a joint car navigation product MAPS.UA, travelGPS and Progorod will soon be launched, which will lead to more accurate and up-to-date maps of Ukraine and, probably, support for online services.
So, before us is the main menu.
It turned out that Progorod for Android and iOS supports OpenGL and can display 3D maps, which is quite convenient. I liked the ability to twist, tilt and scale the map with multitouch gestures, in addition, the three-dimensional terrain scheme looks like the real world. However, in the settings, all these bells and whistles can be disabled in order to increase performance.
The main menu of the program.
The main menu of the program is quite intuitive, with a mass useful functions even inexperienced users can hardly get entangled in them.
The item "On the map" will move directly to the map and will allow you to quickly orient yourself on the ground.
"Search" works quite well, there is a POI search, search by address, by coordinates. The history and our "Favorites" are also stored here.
Quick menu available on the map screen.
“Route” allows you to view information about the current route, maneuvers, detours, build a return route and save the trip log file. 
"Settings" are redundant, see for yourself on the screenshot. 
Map view settings.
The item "Personal", it duplicates information from "Search" on the history of routes and favorites, here we can also get access to the log and "my warnings". 
“Augmented reality” is an interesting function, you can see what POIs are nearby with the camera turned on, pointing at the road. Something stopped updating normally. "Street view on google maps", So I will definitely use this feature. 
Navigation:
The main menu displays a map (you can choose two-dimensional or three-dimensional modes, day and night, or automatic), several control buttons (menu, quick menu with access to your most popular items, zoom, traffic light and compass, clicking on which will expand the map to north) and various indicators: speed, level of satellite signal reception, time, etc.
City map view
Poi setup
Route planning options
The program has two quite pleasant voices (male and female) commenting on the situation on the route, in addition, the Junction View function pleases - a photorealistic image of a complex junction that appears when you approach it. This feature will help newcomers driving or in unfamiliar terrain.

About the program.
My conclusion is that the program is convenient and easy to learn, it is functional - it allows you to consider all the necessary interchanges, 3D models of buildings, taking into account the number of storeys, if you have an Internet connection, there are also "traffic jams" (though not everywhere yet). The support service works promptly, in case of problems it helps quickly, which is also a definite plus. In general, I liked the program, I will use it. You can make your own opinion by downloading the 30-day trial version.
